MORITZ SCHN, OF ORIMMITZSOIIAU, SAXONY, GERMANY.

STEAM-IN HALER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 421,527, dated February 18, 1890.

Application led November 16, 1889. Serial No. 330,577.` (No model.) Patented in Germany March 24g, 1889, No. 48,968.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, MORITZ' SCHN, a subject of the King of Saxony,and a resident of Crimmitzschau, in the Kingdom of Saxony, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steam-Generating Apparatus, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Germany, No. 48,968, dated March 24, 1889,) of which the following is an exact description.

My invention relates to an improved steamgenerator for inhalation purposes, by means of which it is possible to produce a continual supply of steam for any length of time.

In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to ther accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure lis aside elevation of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a `view of the lever-arm M.

The basin O, for reception of the liquid to be inhaled, is supported on three standards attached to the foot-plate H. The basin O sur= rounds the neck of the boiler A, which boiler is supported on lever-arm M, pivoted at C to the bracket D. Bracket D is supported on a ring attached to the upper end of the standards. The exact shape of lever IWI may be clearly seen in Fig. 3. To the outward end of lever M is attached weight L. A cylinder is ixed to the three standards round the boiler, between which cylinder and the boiler the flame of lamp T burns. Lamp T stands in the cavity in the foot-plate Il. B is the watersupply pipe for the boiler A. It is a combination-pipe, the part next the boiler being of metal, while that part G of the pipe passing through the hole in bracketD is india-rubber. Pipe G B connects the boiler with the watersupply.

The upper end of the neck of boiler A is connected in the usual manner by intervening valve p with the lsteam-blowoff pipe Q, pipe R communicating with the liquid in basin O, and is attached at right angles to the pipe Q. S is a brush for elevating the jet. The boiler, when iilled with water, Will be heavier than weight L, and consequently the india-rubber tube passing through the hole in the bracket D will be pressed together and the water-supply shutoff. As soon, however, as the water in the boiler has evaporated to a certain extent-to be regulated by the position of weight L on the lever-arm M-the boiler becomes lighter and rises, lever-arm M falls at the Weight end, and the tube is released from the pressure of the shoulder M of the same. The Water-supply pipe is thus opened and water ows into the boiler until the same has become full enough to overbalance weight L, when the shoulder M rises, closing the water-supply.

I do not confine myself to shutting off the Water-supply by means of the compressioncock just described. I can also substitute a plug stop-cock and make the handle of the same to be actuated by the lever M. I can also substitute a spring for the counterbalanoe-weight. l

Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States .is-

1. An apparatus for purposes of inhalation,

yconsisting of a boiler supported by alever and a counter-balance mechanism operating the water-supply cock, for the purpose as described.

2. The combination of boiler A, having valve p and steam-outlet Q, lever M, having weight L, water-supply pipe B G, bracket D, basin O, pipe R, having brush S, cylinder round boiler, and lamp, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
